Blue Flyer at RCDB **Blue Flyer** (formerly **Zipper Dipper** and **Warburtons Milk Roll-A-Coaster**) is a [wooden](/source/Wooden_roller_coaster) [roller coaster](/source/Roller_coaster) in the [Nickelodeon Land](/source/Nickelodeon_Land) section of [Pleasure Beach Resort](/source/Blackpool_Pleasure_Beach) (better known as Blackpool Pleasure Beach) in [Blackpool](/source/Blackpool), [England](/source/England). It is believed to have been built by Charles Paige, with assistance from [Harry Traver](/source/Harry_Traver). Blue Flyer is an [ACE Coaster Classic](/source/ACE_Coaster_Classic). Additionally, the ride was designated as a Grade II [listed building](/source/Listed_building#England_and_Wales) on 19 April 2017.[1] ## History The ride originally opened in 1934 as Zipper Dipper. It retained this name until 2010, when [Beaver Creek's Children Park](/source/Beaver_Creek_(Blackpool_Pleasure_Beach)), the section of the park the ride was located in, closed following the 2010 season. Zipper Dipper was rethemed and transformed into Blue Flyer with the opening of the new children's section, Nickelodeon Land, on 4 May 2011. Blue Flyer was briefly sponsored by [Warburtons](/source/Warburtons), and was known as the Warburtons Milk Roll-A-Coaster during this time. All in-park signage still read "Zipper Dipper" for the duration of the sponsorship. ## Ride experience Blue Flyer begins with a 4.6 meter (15 foot) lift hill, followed by a drop into three small hills and a tunnel, the latter of which is placed inside the building where [Space Invader 2](/source/Astro_Storm) was previously located. The train exits the tunnel and travels along a slight decline before entering the brake run and returning to the station. One ride cycle lasts approximately one minute. Blue Flyer operates with one train, which was built by [Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters](/source/Philadelphia_Toboggan_Coasters). The train consists of five cars. Each car has two rows, each row seating two riders, for a total of 20 riders per train.[2] The trains also feature [buzz bars](/source/Buzz_bars). ## See also - [Lancashire portal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Lancashire) - [Listed buildings in Blackpool](/source/Listed_buildings_in_Blackpool) ## Gallery - Train on track - Train in station ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** [Historic England](/source/Historic_England), ["Blue Flyer rollercoaster (originally the Zipper Dipper) (1436894)"](https://HistoricEngland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1436894?section=official-list-entry), *[National Heritage List for England](/source/National_Heritage_List_for_England)*, retrieved 21 April 2017 1. **[^](#cite_ref-2)** Marden, Duane.
